M y mum is on 24/7 oxygen and her lips and skin are very dry - I have searched high and low for an oil free product - any help please
Moisturiser : M y mum is on 24/7 oxygen... - Lung Conditions C...
Moisturiser
Nivea do a oil free day tine moisturiser. I paid £3 in tesco. My husband got me some from superdrug for £1 .99.
Thank you. I have asked nearly every pharmacist I come across and none can help. It seems extraordinary that the blf can’t advise - surely everyone on oxygen faces the same problems??
Hi
If you type water based moisturiser into the Amazon search box ,there is a good selection.
The key is the first main ingredient, if it starts with Aqua then it’s water based.
Hi i get zerobase emoliant cream and Aquras (not sure of spelling) as thies can be used in the bath or as a mormal mosturiser. no perfumes so good for breathing problems i hope this is of some help
Edit: Whilst this may be very good for the skin generally it would not be safe to use it whilst using oxygen.

Hi
Main ingredient is liquid paraffin, not good for oxygen users
zerobase emoliant cream
Try asking a pharmacist for advice because they tend to be knowledgeable about ingredients. Welcome to the forum.
Hi Mims2017,
I am also on 24/7 oxygen the same as your mum, I was advised to use Nutraplus 10% w/w Cream and it works fine for me.
I hope that helps, welcome to the forum.
Tesco do a water based lip moisturiser
